Special thanks to Diesel007 for pointing me the right direction.

So here is what I got.

I-Forged Imola
Silver
19x8 235
19x10 265

Now the wait begins while they build them!

I'm also waiting for my wheel, HRE C20.

Won't those tire widths look a bit strange? The rears will be much more stretched than the fronts.

No that shouldn't be strange at all. depends on tire 265 on 19X10 doesn't really stretch that much. In fact on my 265 Kumho, it doesn't even look stretch. Doing the math, 265 is greater then 10in so it should be any problem. The tires on the front might stand out more though, since stock is 225 over 8.5

Zagor · 09-20-2006, 03:55 PM

I'm not saying 265 won't fit 10" rims. I'm just saying it will look different from 235 on 8" rims.

235-on-8 is 86% rim vs. tire width, which is less stretched than stock.
265-on-10 is 96% rim vs. tire width, which is more stretched than stock.

That difference is going to be visible.

It's not wrong or bad per se, if you know you want that specific look. I'm just posting a heads-up, in case SD330i is not aware of it.

You're right, the rear tires will look good, but the front might be a bit odd. if it's 19X8.5 with 235/35/19 then it'll be more matching look.

MIKEYMIKE · 09-20-2006, 04:14 PM

Maybe he's really getting 8.5 in the front?

Congrats on the new wheels, they should look hot!

SD330i · 09-21-2006, 01:10 PM

Ok all. You all started stressing me out with my order so I cancelled it! Even though my shop said it will look fine and I have seen it on other cars. Any way I switched to HRE and went 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. 235 front and 265 rear on Goodyear F1s.

Also I am working with Creative Autoworks in San Diego. Let me tell you these guys (James) have unbelievable patience with me. There is no question in my mind that I would recomend these guys to anyone!! Just to qualify I run a multi billion $$ customer realations division and I would say that I need to take lessons in customer service from them!
